Will it be an inny or outy?

When Austin was about 2 months old, we started to notice his belly button poke out a bit and we were thinking it was no big deal since my nephew Zak had had the same thing happen to his belly button and now it is fine. However, it started to get A LOT worse and when we went to their 2 month doctor appnt, his doctor said that sometimes if it doesn't go away by age 5 or so, they eventually need surgery. I was thinking, "no way!" How sad for him to have to go that long with his giant belly button! They are called herniated belly buttons and are apparently pretty common. They don't hurt them at all and they make a really squishy sound when pushed back in which Spence did, not me! It made me nervous and squeamish to do that.

Here is his before pics: (Yah, it really was that big! WOW! - now you know why we were scared)

However, we are pleased to report that Austin's belly button FINALLY went down. It actually has been down for about 6 weeks or so but it looks great - you'd never even know!
